A landlord has a lot of responsibilities in respect of the property they are leasing out particularly when referring to upkeep issues. For instance; any appliances that use gas including the central heating system need to be checked on a scheduled basis by law to guarantee their continued safe working.

Further to this, there may be times during or following a tenancy that works will have to be carried out on other items in the property so as to ensure that the property remains a safe dwelling for a current or new tenant. When a landlord is looking to employ the services of various contractors it would be sensible for them to look at property maintenance firms that encompass a selection of pros such as plumbers, electricians, builders, painters and decorators etc?

It is beneficial for a landlord to do that for a considerable number of reasons.

Lots of commercial landlords own a large number of properties and don’t have the time to administer every issue that emerges at every property. When taking on a tenancy the tenant would be told about what constitutes a concern whereby they can contact the maintenance company direct and in turn the landlord can be assured that his property is being maintained efficiently without need for participation, especially with small problems that may be resolved quickly.

They'd be well placed to build up a trusting working relationship with a reputable maintenance company who should make records of all works carried out at a specific property and diarise and carry out works such as the Gas Safety Inspection which is required on an annual basis. Not only does this make allowance for the efficient running of the property with as little interruption to the tenants as possible and it affords every trade’s person employed by the maintenance company a full history of the property.

This has benefits to the landlord in identifying, rectifying and presumably preventing serious problems from occurring. For example; if a tenant is repeatedly requesting call outs for a similar problem, by having the history of each call out the maintenance company can carry out further inquiries as to why. If a different contractor was employed every time underlying issues might be missed.
